  • I love this piece.

  • When I listened this the first time (life in a wonderful theatre, with wonderful people with me) I fell in love with the Italian Symphony...Not 5 stars, but 50. Great version.

  • Thank you for uploading all 4 movements.

  • This is from a Barbie movie. Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses. It is a very cool movie and this music fits it perfectly.

  • Great recording , in terms of sound, for 1953!

  • I would NOT want to be a wind player in this recording. Those parts are hard without it racing by.

    Deadly energy though. There is a reason why Bernstein is the man :)

  • I had that Toscanini version years ago. Really excellent, sadly now lost.

  • @JTmusicguy There's a tarantella near the end of "The Nutcracker", and in the Baryshnikov version it's played slower than usual.

  • Karajan always conducts the best renditions.
